Description
Overview of the science cases for, and technologies required for a new single dish sub-mm telescope. AtLAST is envisioned as a 50m diameter single dish with a 1deg field of view that will be able to map the large scale structures of the Universe inaccessible to ALMA with mapping speeds 1000s of times faster than current or planned facilities.

Molecular Gas and Dust in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time
Two of the most fundamental questions in astrophysics are the conversion of molecular gas into stars and how this physical process is a function of environments on all scales, ranging from planetary systems, stellar clusters, galaxies to galaxy clusters. The main goal of this internal project is to get insight into the formation and evolution of

    Planetary nebula evolution for single stellar models. The formation of neutral spikes
    Two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations are presented from the formation up to the late evolution of planetary nebula, for six different stellar models from 1 to 5 M $_{\odot }$. The hydrodynamical models use stellar evolution calculations as inner boundary conditions and updated values for the number of ionizing photons. Special emphasis is

    SN 2024bfu, SN 2025qe, and the early light curves of type Iax supernovae
    Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are one of the most common subclasses of thermonuclear supernova and yet their sample size, particularly those observed shortly after explosion, remains relatively small. In this paper, we present photometric and spectroscopic observations of two SNe Iax discovered shortly after explosion, SN 2024bfu and SN 2025qe

    Aligned, Multiple-transient Events in the First Palomar Sky Survey
    Old, digitized astronomical images taken before the human spacefaring age offer a rare glimpse of the sky before the era of artificial satellites. In this paper, we present the first optical searches for artificial objects with high specular reflections near the Earth. We follow the method proposed in Villarroel et al. and use a transient sample
